1. Check for Crawlability and indexability - your website is navigated by both visitors and crawl bots.
2. A site's crawl and indexing performance can be increased by using the Robots.txt file.
a. Keep an eye out for:
i. incorrect grammar
ii. an empty user-agent line
iii. misaligned directives
iv. listing many directories in a single line
v. listing each file rather than stopping indexation for the entire directory
b. There are numerous variables that can prohibit search bots from indexing your site. A robots.txt file can be useful. This file connects with search engines and instructs crawlers on which URLs they should visit. Although a robots.txt file is not required for a website's survival, it helps speed up crawling and indexing.
3. Examine URL structure - apply relevant phrases in URLs to identify the content inside, as both users and bots will read URLs.
4. Check for broken links and redirects - Broken links and 4xx & 5xx status codes can wreak havoc on both the user experience and your SEO efforts.
5. Verify that you are utilising the right canonicals - Ensure that the rel="canonical" element does not point to a broken or non-existent website.
6. Examine your sitemap - Search engines only accept sitemaps that are less than 50 MB in size and have fewer than 50,000 links.
7. Examine the on-page SEO and content - on-page optimization is a valid path to your website's off-page success. Using good content as the foundation for link building will require less effort to achieve excellent outcomes.
8. Double-check your title tags, meta tags, and images.
9. Examine your core web vitals
10. Mobile optimization and HTTPS implementation
To avoid
• Malformed links
• Broken internal links
• WWW domain configured incorrectly
• Redirect chains and loops
• Broken canonical link
• Multiple canonical URLs
• Format errors in sitemap.xml
• Wrong pages found in sitemap.xml
• Sitemap.xml files are too large
• Missing or empty title tags
• Issues with duplicate title tags
• Slow page load speed
To improve
• Underscores in the URL
• Too many parameters in URLs
• URL is too long
• Internal links with nofollow attributes
• Too many on-page links
• Duplicate H1 and title tags
• Issues with uncompressed JavaScript and CSS files
• Pages have a JavaScript and CSS total size that is too large
• Pages use too many JavaScript and CSS files

You might want to consider the checklist offered by Backlinko.com.
Not only will you get a website audit SEO checklist, but you would also get access to tons of other checklists that can dramatically improve your SEO performance across the board.
There's a reason why Semrush bought out Backlinko.
If you're looking for a well-written site that's absolutely free and is based on actionable information, a few sites and online resources for SEO can even come close to Backlinko.

Do all of your pages have title tags and meta descriptions?
Have you included headings and structured your content well?
Have you added alt text to all of your images? - i.e. you have written what is in the picture?
Are you using meta tags to guide search engines on how they should access your content? (This is important if you have pages that you don’t want to be indexed like a promotion that is only available for one month, then you should include: nofollow noindex)
Are you sure you don’t have any duplicate pages? E.g. content displayed in multiple languages?
Do you use canonical tags* to avoid cannibalising your own content with duplicate or similar content?
